A recent study from the University of Utah in the forthcoming edition of the Journal of Biosocial Science, concludes that Askhenazi Jews (who make up the large majority of Jews in the US and Europe) have the highest average intelligence of any ethnic group. Higher than Asians, Caucasians, Hispanics, or Blacks.
The researchers theorize that this deviation is a result of intense historical persecution that limited available work for Jews in high intelligence fields (trade and finance) and an isolated gene pool. The researchers also cite as evidence the fact that Jews make up only 2% of the world’s population but have won almost 40% of the Nobel prizes, Ashkenazim generally also do well in IQ tests, scoring 12-15 points above the mean value of 100, and have contributed disproportionately to the intellectual and cultural life of the West.
Re: IQ:
During the 1970s, when Reggie Jackson — a great player who was not known for his sense of modesty — played for the NY Yankees, his team mate, Mickey Rivers, liked to bait him. Jackson once boasted that he had an IQ of 200 — to which Rivers shot back “what’s that, on a scale of 1,000?
I especially like to travel to Canada for that reason. With the exchange rate…. My IQ is 210!
And smarter than Sephardim too, right – justifying the entrenched bigotry…
way to go Askhenazi
It appears none of you know the meaning of the word Cuacasian – Caucasian means “white person.” In other words we are smater than (non-Jewish) Asians, Whites, Hispanics and Blacks!
I guess your smarter than Rice (Shwartze-Secratary of State) and Gonzales (Latino-Attorney General).
The problem is that you are so ignorant that you really believe so, even though you have NO CLUE what both jobs entail (outside that they speak to reporters…).
Wow!You sound really intelligent, Mr. 11:40 A.M.! Where should we send your Nobel Prize?
What a compliment, we’re more intelligent than the Shwartze’s & Latinos? with such compliments who still needs insultings?!?
